Question

The degree of the polynomial 3x^3+0x^4+8
(A) 4
(B) 1
(C) 3
(D) 2​

Answer 1

(C) 3

Explanation:

Let us define the degree of polynomial first

"The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the given expression"

Now,

Given expression is:

3x^3+0x^4+8

The highest degree from first observation seems to be 4 but the term with exponent 4 is being multiplied with zero so the degree is then 3 ..

Therefore the correct answer is C. 3 ..
